Nice one! 😁

just realised, the one I just started would also have fit. I have "melancholy".

Not as tricky as it first seems, I guess, lol.

[Cat]

Does Super Bowl count for championship games reference? cos if it does I've got a mention!

[Melindam]

Surely it must! :))

[Sammy]

I'd say yes!

[Melindam]

Tomas & Tereza are gone, we have

Waq Waq Tree
1. 350 to 450
2. None of the point of view characters are male
3. Tagged Muslim or Islam (at least 10 times)
4. gold item or words on cover
5. Book has a map inside or central to plot

[Melindam]

Of course it's when I already finished my Pakistan book... sigh

On the phone now, but tonight I will try and see if I have sth by way of Muslim/Islam tags

[Melindam]

I have an upcoming map book, though.

[Sammy]

Ditto on the Pakistan book, lol.

[Melindam]

:D

[Cat]

A minor side character in my book has just lost a hand.... Work or not?

[Melindam]

I vote yes. :)

[Melindam]

I have found a book tagged Islam 79x and I really want to read it, but I won't get to start before 17 Aug, so I'll wait with adding it to the ss.

Yep!

[Sammy]

Works for me Mel. I don't have any immediates on my tbr either. I do want to read A Thousand Splendid Suns, but right now it's a case of fitting stuff to wheel tasks.

[Melindam]

Yes, wheel takes predence. And b/c this book sounds so very interesting, I don't want to rush through it. I'm going for lighter (re)reads at present. :)

[Sammy]

Remind me... were we ok with yellow text standing for gold text on cover?

I just finished one that fits, as well as the Only female POV one.

[Sammy]

could have sworn I filled in the dates on the Python book, but apparently not!

Snek no more!

Alaska (Looking for Alaska)

1 650+
2 character name is also a US state
3 takes place at a boarding school
4 body of water on cover
5 green cover

[Sammy]

I've got the 650, unless anyone is about to finish one?

[Melindam]

Not me. :)

[Melindam]

Is this pushing it or could this pass as body of water on cover? 😅

[Sammy]

It's obviously meant to represent one, so I'd say yes.

[Melindam]

Found a book with an MC called Louisiana, but will probably start after 15 Aug only

[Sammy]

Nice, that seemed like a tricky one to me!

[Melindam]

Thankfully, there was a GR list for this and I'm happy I found sth again that I want to read. :)

[Sammy]

I just finished the Aussie book and am starting a 500-pager should the need for one come up in the next day or so...

[Cat]

Put the Aussie book in the three vowels spot, I won't be done until mid week I reckon. :)
(I'm on phone so it's not easy otherwise I'd do it myself)

[Sammy]

Ok, done. Tipua is dealt with.

Next up:

Kobold

1 100 to 175
2 "hearth" in text
3 Antagonist or MC you would describe as "lawful evil"
4 Interior scene on cover
5 Title starts with a K

[Sammy]

Would we class this as interior scene on the cover?



Reasoning that not many people keep their bookcases outside...

[Cat]

I reckon we can swing that!

[Sammy]

Awesome!

[Sammy]

Chased off the Kobold, and for our 200th monster I tried for the ever illusive Chupacabra again, but instead got:

Hoop Snake

1 100 to 175
2 Circle on cover
3 Set in the United States, Canada, or Australia
4 10 in page count
5 MC runs away from something

[Sammy]

Could be a lot worse!!

Also, it would appear that the Hoop Snake does not appear on sheet 3, or am I just going blind(er)?

[Cat]

not going blind, but all fixed now.

Do we want to start saying that if we've done a given monster three times we can chose to respin?

[Melindam]

Yes, please. :)

[Melindam]

Maybe we could also petition the release of a new wheel. ;)

[Cat]

let's maybe let the mods take a breath! (the wheel mastermod is currently looking at what damage everyone took, not sure we want to pester her during that phase!...)

[Melindam]

Of course! :)

I've just read, like, 80% of my shorties to crank through the wheels! books in the 100 - 175 range are in scant supply chez Cat right now!

and, pleasingly, mostly good shorties, courtesy T Kingfisher!

[Melindam]

Will need a day or 3 to sort myself out, but I will duly concentrate on Monster Wheels from then on.

[Sammy]

Ok, so no notification for one post is one thing, but 10?!? GR can be very vexing at times!

That's a yes please on the 3x respin.

And I have about 10 days of nothing but 500+ right now, then will be reading lots of shorter ones no doubt for TURF.

I'm currently about 1/3 through The Crimson Petal and the White and loving it so far! 😁

[Sophie, The other one]

Yes on the respin.

Will sit and look through books and tasks when I get back from a weekend camping and have Nana here supporting childcare.

[Melindam]

It just occurred to me that we started this challenge 1 year ago (give or take a day) and slaying (almost) 200 mosters is kind of impressive. :)))

[Cat]

that's super cool! <3

[Sophie, The other one]

Wow! A monster every couple of days is speedy slaying.

[Sammy]

We're kinda awesome... 😉

[Melindam]

Very kinda... :D ♡

[Melindam]

For the 100-175 page count I found Mrs Bradshaws Handbook (it is hightime I read it anyway :) + it fits circle on cover as well. 🙂

[Melindam]

And I'm so glad I purchased the audiobook version. I think it suits this book perfectly with Penelope Keith and Michael Fenton Stevens as narrators and a great set-up with railway & station sound effects. ☺️

[Cat]

Finished the Daleks.
Spun

Nemean Lion
1 350 to 450
2 takes place in Africa
3 Both hands (of one person) visible on cover
4 open plain on cover
5 features a cat (cat shifter accepted)

[Sammy]

Yikes! Don't think I'll have much this week (reading through a load of chunky ones before TURF starts in a week), but I'll see what I can squeeze in.
